About this Short Film
The distance between me and death, directed by Jing Yu (Australia, 2021), is a short film included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. It explores mental health, perception and the fragile space around thoughts of suicide from the viewpoint of a young person. Drawing on images of books and the small details of everyday life, the film asks how mental illness can alter what an individual sees and feels. Presented here as part of a programme that highlights abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability, this quiet, thoughtful piece offers audiences a respectful moment to reflect on youth, vulnerability and resilience.
